C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Circle to Search makes it incredibly easy to look up basically anything you see on your phone screen. So far, though, in landscape mode Circle to Search would often cover up the area you circled. Google has now started delivering results in a floating card that can be offset to the side in landscape view. What’s your favorite new Android feature of the past couple years?

YouTube adds a new Shorts feature that you should probably avoid

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-14 08:14:58

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR YouTube is rolling out an accessibility-based feature that allows vertical Shorts videos to play in a landscape orientation. The Rotate Shorts option changes UI elements for sideway viewing but shrinks the video so much. This feature is likely intended for users with motor impairments or specific setups like mounted landscape-mode devices. By design, YouTube Shorts, just like Instagram Reels and TikTok videos, are all vertical videos. They’re meant to

Even MAGA Is Pissed Off About Tech Bros’ Dream of Bulldozing Federal Lands to Create New Cities

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-08-20 02:00:17

In recent years, a cadre of tech billionaires have become obsessed with a deeply unconventional idea: the creation of new, privately owned cities. Dubbed the “Freedom Cities” movement, backers say they’d like to create new special development zones in the U.S. that would allow such cities to be built. In these zones, private investors could write their own laws and set up their own governance structures. According to this project’s backers, such communities would be corporately controlled and wo

It’ll be the second big Disney movie of the fall season to make an appearance at the famed Hall, joining October’s Tron: Ares. Both films will fill in for a lack of Marvel at this year’s convention, and it’ll be the Predator franchise’s first theatrical movie to hit SDCC since Shane Black’s 2018 reboot. (P

Borderlands 4 has some clear runway now that Grand Theft Auto VI is coming next year instead of this year.

Borderlands 4 is coming on September 12 on the Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and the Windows PC.

Borderlands 4 recommended specs call for an RTX 3080 and 32GB RAM

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2025-09-12 02:22:00

A hot potato: Now that people are no longer angry over Borderlands 4 possibly costing $80 (it's actually $70 for the standard edition), something else is causing plenty of outrage: the game's PC requirements. Asking for an RTX 3080 as the recommended GPU does seem excessive, and even the minimum specs are higher than expected. Borderlands 4's system requirements on its Steam page are certainly higher than one would expect. Even the bare minimum requirements, where we usually see ancient and/or

Borderlands 4 pre-orders open at $70, avoiding feared $80 price tag

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2025-09-12 22:19:00

What just happened? The situation around Borderlands 4's potential $80 price has seen outcry, outrage, and a very poorly-worded X post from CEO Randy Pitchford. But fear not: the game is now available for pre-order at $70 for the standard version. With more new games costing $80, there were fears that Borderlands 4 would follow this trend. But the game has landed on Steam ahead of its September 12 launch with a $70/£60/€70 price tag. That's for the standard edition. There's also a $100/£90/€10

Borderlands 4 will not cost $80, despite misguided executive comments

Borderlands 4, the latest entry in Gearbox Software's popular looter shooter franchise, is available to pre-order now for $70, a good $10 less than many assumed it would cost. The game's price first came into question when its September 12 release date was announced without pre-order details, and Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford suggested that whether the game came with a $80 price tag was out of his hands. Pitchford put his foot in his mouth in a thread on X sharing a behind-the-scenes video about
